MINOGUE, NEWS FIVE.

TURNING NOW TO OUR ECONOMY

A MAJOR BUSINESS DEAL INVOLVING

A

LOCALLY GROWN COMPANY.

NOW BEING BOUGHT FOR NEARLY A

BILLION

DOLLARS.

NEWS FIVE'S ALLEN CARTER SPOKE

TO THE FOUNDER OF SOUTHERN LIGHT

AND

HAS THE STORY.

IN A CITY THAT ISN'T KNOWN FOR

HIGH TECH

DEVELOPMENT.

ONE COMPANY HAS ENJOYED QUITE A

BIT

OF SUCCESS.

SOT: every company, every

enterprise in mobile

needs reliable bandwidth. Our

market has expanded

a lot.

ANDY NEWTOWN FOUNDED SOUTHERN

LIGHT IN 1998.

THEY NOW HAVE OVER 250 EMPLOYEES

AND 600

CUSTOMERS.

Andy Newton / SOUTHERN LIGHT

FOUNDER: southern light is a

fiber optic infrastructure

company we build fiber networks

around cities and

provide high speed bandwidth

solutions off of

those networks.

BUT THOSE TRADEMARK WHITE

TRUCKS- WILL LIKELY SOON BE

GOING AWAY. AND SO WILL THE

COMPANY AT LEAST IN NAME.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT THIS WEEK THAT

THEY'RE BEING BOUGHT. SOT: this

is a great story for mobile,

this is a growth

story.

NEWTON CLEARLY EXCITED - WHY

WOULDN'T HE BE?

IT'S A 700-MILLION DOLLAR DEAL -

ALTHOUGH A LOT OF THAT WILL GO

TO COMPANY INVESTORS.

NEWTON SAYS OPERATIONALLY LITTLE

WILL CHANGE - INCLUDING HIM.

SOT: you're sticking around? Im

sticking around.

What's the point of selling if

you still have to work. Well

you know southern light just

means a lot to me all the

people here we built this

company like we're family

so we are going to stick around

and make sure this

thing operates as we want it to

operate and that we're

taking care of our customers. SO

SOUTHERN LIGHT WILL NOW BE PART

OF

UNITI FIBER.

THE NAME WILL BE DIFFERENT - BUT

NEWTON SAYS WHAT THEY'VE BUILT

AND WHO

THEY ARE WILL NOT CHANGE.

IN MOBILE, ALLEN CARTER NEWS

FIVE.

NEWTON SAYS HE DOESN'T EXPECT

ANY

CHANGES IN STAFFING.

THE DEAL IS UNDER CONTRACT, BUT

STILL

NEEDS REGULATORY APPROVAL BEFORE

BEING FINALIZED.

THEY EXPECT THAT TO BE IN THE

NEXT THREE

TO FOUR MONTHS.

IN

NORFOLK CALLS FOR PUMPING

MILLIONS INTO

NEIGHBORHOODS AND PAY

INCREASES FOR CITY

WORKERS. BUT THE

PROPOSAL GIVES NO NEW

MONEY

TO THE NORFOLK PUBLIC

SCHOOLS -- WHERE

OFFICIALS SAY THEY'RE

DESPERATE FOR CASH.

10 ON YOUR SIDE'S JOE

PUSHBACK. JOE.

ONE-POINT-TWO BILLION

DOLLAR OPERATING BUDGET

YEAR. IT INCLUDES MONEY

TO IMPROVE TECHNOLOGY,

PUBLIC SAFETY AND

NEIGHBORHOODS. HOWEVER,

THERE'S LEVEL FUNDING FOR

THE

NORFOLK PUBLIC SCHOOLS --

THAT PREVIOUSLY ASKED FOR

$10 MILLION DOLLARS.

COUNCILMAN TOMMY SMIGIEL

SAYS HE'LL FIGHT TO COME

UP WITH AT LEAST SOME OF

THE MONEY THE DISTRICT

REQUESTED.

SALES TAX REVENUE IS UP

AND BUSINESS IS BOOMING,

BUT INTERIM CITY MANAGER

DOUG

SMITH SAYS NORFOLK IS

STILL STRAPPED FOR CASH.

DOUG SMITH/INTERIM CITY

FISCAL DISCIPLINE --

HOPING

REVENUES WILL INCREASE

COMING LIKE WATERSIDE,

THE

PREMIUM OUTLETS AND IKEA.

MAYOR KENNY

ALEXANDER/NORFOLK

"IT'S A PROPOSAL. THE

MANAGER PROPOSES; THE

COUNCIL DISPOSES, SO WE

HAVE

OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT

THIS BUDGET." THE PLAN

INCLUDES $2 MILLION FOR

TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES -- $9

MILLION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY

BALANCE THEIR BUDGET?

CITY COUNCIL

"NOT SAYING IT'S A BAD

BUDGET. IT'S JUST AT SOME

POINT EDUCATION HAS GOT

TO BE, YOU

KNOW WHEN WE SAY WE ARE

COMMITTED TO IT AS A

PRIORITY, THEN WE GOT TO

OUR BUDGET AND I DON'T

SEE THAT IN THIS BUDGET."

RE-INSTITUTION OF IN-

SCHOOL SUSPENSIONS.

THE MAYOR SAYS FULFILLING

THE DISTRICT'S REQUEST

WOULD COME AT THE

COST OF CUTTING SERVICES

HAVE A CONVERSATION.

MAYOR KENNY

ALEXANDER/NORFOLK

"I THINK THERE IS SOME

ROOM FOR MONEY FOR SOME

ADDITIONAL MONEY FOR

NORFOLK

PUBLIC SCHOOLS, BUT NOT

$10 MILLION WITHOUT

RAISING TAXES OR CUTTING

CRITICAL

SERVICES." SMIGIEL SAYS

THE COUNCIL COULD LOOK

TO A PUBLIC AMMENITIES

FUND THAT'S BEEN RECENTLY

Question for you: What do spaceships,

dry shampoos and anti-venom have in common

with YOU watching this video?

They're all thanks to science.

The sciences touch

every aspect of our lives every single day.

They keep us safe and healthy.

They drive economic growth through innovation

and technology. They're a part of our education,

part of keeping the planet safe.

But there's a current dangerous

trend to ignore science. So we're

marching to publicize our enthusiastic

support of science. We are hosting an

expo at the March with interactive science

demonstrations so your whole family can

watch science in action.

Have fun, learn, and take action.

AT THE END OF THIS MONTH,

TUSCALOOSA WILL KICK OFF IT'

)S ANNUAL LIVE MUSIC CONCERT

SERIES.

THE EVENT IS KNOWN TO BRING

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE EVERY

NIGHT, BUT THIS YEAR, A NEW

BAN COULD CHANGE THAT.

SINCE IT STARTED TWO YEARS

AGO, CONCERT-GOERS HAVE BEEN

ALLOWED TO BRING THEIR OWN

ALCOHOL BUT NOT ANY MORE.

CBS NEWS REPORTER STEPHON

DINGLE STOPPED BY TUSCALOOSA'

)S CITY HALL TO FIND OUT WHY.

IN THE 2 YEARS OF THE LIVE AT

THE PLAZA SERIES WHERE PEOPLE

COULD BYOB - THERE WERE NO

MAJOR INCIDENTS BY ATTENDEES -

BUT CITING LIABILITY ISSUES

AND LITIGATION - PERSONAL

BOOZE WONT BE ALLOWED.

THE POPULAR CONCERT SERIES

DRAWS PEOPLE FROM ALL AROUND

ALABAMA DURING THE SUMMER -

IT'S DRAW WAS THE ABILITY TO

BRING YOUR OWN STUFF INCLUDING

ALCOHOL -

BUT AFTER A 4-1 VOTE IN

TUSCALOOSA CITY COUNCIL -

THERE WILL NOW BE AN

ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT WHICH

SECTION OFF THE CONCERT AND

OFFER ALCOHOL FOR SALE DUE TO

THE CITY NOT HAVING INSURANCE

IN CASE OF AN INCIDENT.

"we have been blessed with

having no incidents so far but

we must operate our city

professionally, and we must

operate off of legal standards

we don't want to put the

city in any kind of risk

factor, and therefore we are

going to continue to research

and see how we can allow the

individuals to bring their own

bottles in."

DECISION. NOW ATTENDEES WILL

FOR TAX PAYERS.

HAYLEY LIVE:

THE LONGMEADOW TOWN MANAGER

SAID THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC

CANNOT CONTINUE TO FUNCTION IN

THEIR CURRENT FACILITY BUILT IN

A NEW DPW FACILITY. LONGMEADOW'S

AND WATER AND SEWER RATES WOULD

RISE AS WELL.

STEPHEN CRANE:

"PEOPLE DO PAY HIGHER TAXES THAN

IN

COMPORABLE COMMUNITIES, THEY GET

A VERY VERY HIGH LEVEL OF

SERVICE FOR THAT

TAXATION. THE COST OF DOING THE

RESIDENTS WOULD NEED TO APPROVE

TWO ARTICLES APPROVING THE

PURCHASE OF PROPERTY, AND A DEBT

REMEMBER, AVERAGE THIS TIME OF

IF WE COOLDOWN FROM OUR 80

FINE.

FOR YOUR DAY TOMORROW, I DON'T

THINK WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT

I THINK WE WILL MAKE IT TO THE

CHANCE.

GOOD CHUNK OF THE AREA WILL BE

LOOKING NICE.

TRIES TO MAKE ITS WAY IN BUT

Choosing the best vehicle for your teen - Duration: 3:54.

Narrator >> When it comes time for a teenager to

start driving, buying a safe new car

isn't always in the budget for many families.

Instead, teens often end up with

inexpensive or hand-me-down vehicles

that run the gamut on safety.

But safety is especially important for teenagers.

They're among the riskiest drivers, and

they have much higher crash rates than adults.

So to help families find a safe

and affordable vehicle, we've created a

list of recommended used vehicles for teens.

It follows a few basic principles:

Young drivers and high horsepower don't mix.

Although these vehicles may be appealing...

Teen 1 >> I like power, fast cars.

Teen 2 >> Fun car to drive.

Teen 3 >> Like those really fancy sports cars.

Teen 4 >> Any Lamborghini would be fine.

Narrator >> ...testing the limits of a powerful engine can

be too tempting for teens.

Size matters.

Bigger, heavier vehicles are safer.

They offer better protection in a crash.

Stay away from mini cars or small cars.

Teen 5 >> I would prefer like the bigger cars

because I just feel like there's less

chance of me getting hurt in crashes.

Teen 6 >> I think the bigger the better because if

you do get into an accident I would

rather have more protection around me.

Teen 7 >> If you think about it, a little car versus a

big car, like, a little car is not going to win.

Narrator >> Electronic Stability Control,

or ESC, is a must.

This technology helps drivers maintain

control on curves and slippery roads and

has been required on new vehicles since 2012.

Finally, seek out a vehicle with

the highest crash test ratings you can

afford. IIHS rates vehicles good,

acceptable, marginal or poor in front,

side, rollover, and head restraint tests.

And the government uses a star rating system.

Vehicles with good crash test ratings

offer the best protection in a crash.

These four principles drive the

criteria for the Institute's list.

The list is broken down into two tiers of

safe and affordable vehicles.

"Best Choices" offer the highest crash test

ratings and start under twenty thousand dollars.

If budget is still a concern,

"Good Choices" start under ten thousand dollars.

These vehicles are still safe

for your teen but get good ratings in

fewer of our crash tests.

Before purchasing a used vehicle, make sure to

enter its VIN at the government's

website to check for any recalls.

If you're planning ahead and buying a new

family vehicle that might one day belong

to a young driver, consider a Top Safety Pick

or Top Safety Pick+.

In addition to good crash test ratings, these vehicles

have front crash prevention.

And in the case of TSP plus good or

acceptable headlights -

features that can be valuable for

inexperienced drivers but hard to find

in a used vehicle.

Teen 1 >> I just want a big car that's strong,

keeps me safe.

Teen 8 >> Just having a car

that is sturdy, I guess, and not made for

looks or power.

Teen 9 >> something that's safe and

something that's not too expensive.

Teen 4 >> I just feel like when it comes to crashes

it more safe in a bigger car.

Teen 8 >> Just something that can get me around and

keep me safe, which I think is kind of what

every parent really wants for their kids.
